The One With September Plans, Week 3

Hi guys! How's week 3? 
I'll admit, I barely did any activities week 2 since I had a super busy week! But that's ok, we all have our off periods! Time to get back into the swing of things!

C Dot Art *

Directions: print file. Allow child to decorate the uppercase and lowercase C. (You can use circle stickers, dot stampers, play dough pieces, or pom poms) Read Dr. Seuss's ABC book, and discuss which letter is "Big C" and which one is "Little c" Hang paper on fridge for the week to reference. 

Circle Stamping:

Directions: Dip the end of a paper towel/toilet paper tube into paint. Allow children to use the tube as a stamp to paint circles onto paper.

C is For Clouds:

Directions: cut a paper plate into the shape of a C. Glue on cotton balls around the c. Discuss how C is for cotton and clouds. Go outside and find the clouds! Do any clouds have fun shapes?

Apple Paper Plates:

Directions: cut a paper plate into the shape of an apple core. Allow your child to paint/color the extra pieces green as leaves. Glue them on top of the apple core! Draw on 3 (number of the month!) seeds! Discuss the vocabulary terms: core, seeds, leaves, peel. 

C Snack:

Directions: Make cookies! Hooray! You can make them from scratch, or simply use pre-made dough. If you're feeling especially sassy, sing "C is for Cookie" like Cookie Monster. 

Play Dough Circles:

Directions: Find plastic round cups/containers of different sizes around the kitchen. Turn them upside down and use the mouth of the cup as a cookie cutter. Make tons of play dough circles. Describe the sizes of the circles (small, large, medium, etc) 

Candy Sorting Mat*: 

Directions: print file. Cut apart the orange, red, and blue candy pieces on page 2. Mix them up, then allow the children to place the corresponding small colored candy on the large candy.

C Letter Recognition:*

Directions: print file. Invite children to find the letters Cc on the sheet. (use bingo stampers, crayons, stickers, etc)

Apple Tracing:

Directions: Cut an apple in half. Lay the apple down flat onto the paper and invite your child to trace around it. Voila! An apple outline! Dig out 3 (number of the month!) seeds from the apple and glue them down onto the paper. 

That's all, folks! Here are the printables:
